What causes a child to grow up gay or straight? In this book, neuroscientist Simon LeVay summarizes a wealth of scientific evidence that points to one inescapable conclusion: Sexual orientation results primarily from an interaction between genes, sex hormones, and the cells of the developing body and brain. LeVay helped create this field in 1991 with a much-publicized study in Science, where he reported on a difference in the brain structure between gay and straight men. Since then, an entire scientific discipline has sprung up around the quest for a biological explanation of sexual orientation. In this book, LeVay provides a clear explanation of where the science stands today, taking the reader on a whirlwind tour of laboratories that specialize in genetics, endocrinology, neuroscience, cognitive psychology, evolutionary psychology, and family demographics. He describes, for instance, how researchers have manipulated the sex hormone levels of animals during development, causing them to mate preferentially with animals of their own gender. LeVay also reports on the prevalence of homosexual behavior among wild animals, ranging from Graylag geese to the Bonobo chimpanzee.

How 20 Years of Same-Sex Marriage Changed America In the early 2000s, as the movement for marriage equality gained momentum across the United States, opponents warned of dire consequences if same-sex couples were allowed to wed. From eroding traditional family values to indoctrinating children with homosexual "propaganda" in schools, the slippery slope arguments flowed freely. But two decades after Massachusetts became the first state to legalize same-sex marriage in 2004, followed by the Supreme Court's landmark nationwide ruling in 2015, a new comprehensive study paints a starkly different ...
